The Ludwigshafen site:
The world's largest integrated chemical complex |
- BASF Group's largest Verbund site with a total site area of 10km²
- Location of company's global headquarters
- Manufactures high-value products in a dense network of plants
- Location of BASF Group's technology platforms and competence centers
The Ludwigshafen site benefits in particular from the expertise and experience of approximately 37,000 employees, intelligently integrated Verbund manufacturing structures as well as the availability of all key corporate functions, such as research, Human Resources or energy services, at one location.
In Ludwigshafen, BASF takes basic petrochemical and inorganic substances and processes them into higher value-added chemical products for European and global markets.
A dense network of over 200 production plants provides an excellent infrastructure for manufacturing complex and higher-value products. The plants are connected by 2,000 kilometers of pipelines: these provide a swift and environmentally friendly means of transportation and ensure that the plants are efficiently supplied with raw materials and energy. As a result, complex plants can be operated very efficiently under the Verbund system in Ludwigshafen.
Many product innovations and novel processes are developed at the Ludwigshafen site, which serves as a technology platform and competence center for BASF Group. The concentration of research and development, marketing, engineering, and manufacturing activities at a single site helps to promote the development of sophisticated customer solutions.
The site's central location in the southwest of Germany and its ultra-modern logistics infrastructure with rail, road and water transport provide the ideal conditions for supplying customers around the world.
